Month: February 2018

Day 346 - Feb 27th Okay, so its not quite cold enough to justify the famous quote of Captain Lawrence Oates on his fateful expedition to Antarctica with Captain Scott, but boy, that mercury is beginning to drop and its feeling cold outside! On opening the bedroom curtains, its clear that the road is looking… Continue reading Day 346 – I am just going outside and may be some time

Day 345 - Feb 26th Back to work after a week off, and it only actually feels like I have had the weekend off. The good news is that we aren't thrown straight into the classroom, as we kick off the week with a training day. Its another session at the Birmingham City football ground,… Continue reading Day 345 – Feeling blue on a Monday morning

Day 344 - Feb 25th The day started with a swimming session, I'd successfully arranged to meet two of Olivia's best friends from nursery there. The wife isn't much of a fan of swimming, so I took the two girls by myself, which has become a lot easier recently as they are both really good… Continue reading Day 344 – Make me forget its Sunday night

Day 343 - Feb 24th One of the golden rules of a 365 project is to always keep your camera on you, as you never know when an opportunity will come up to take a shot. The second rule... yeah, that's to make sure you have a memory card in your camera! You'd have thought… Continue reading Day 343 – Rookie error

Day 342 - Feb 23rd The girls, having not spent a whole lot of time outdoors this week, had attempted to destroy the house, spreading toys across most of the downstairs area, but even so we were keen to see a friend of ours, and so invited them over as we hadn't seen them in… Continue reading Day 342 – When friends come to visit

Day 341 - Feb 22nd The day started with an unscheduled ride into work, even though I was actually off for the week, I was hoping the IT guys who were in all week could help me with my dead Macbook, although being the geeks that they were, I hadn't anticipated that they may be… Continue reading Day 341 – Give me a moment of solitude

Day 340 - Feb 21st The wife was quite excited about a big day out this week, which I thought was a lovely idea, and she seemed to have her heart set on taking the girls to Thomas Land at Drayton Manor Park, as they had a deal on tickets for half term. We tried… Continue reading Day 340 – Hey… whatchu lookin at?

Day 339 - Feb 20th The first half of the half term holiday week and we still had very few plans, we really haven't thought this week through very much. Normally I like to be a little more organised about my time off and spend it the best way I can, a mix of getting… Continue reading Day 339 – What do you do with seven days?

Day 338 - Feb 19th Half term is here, the Christmas holidays seem like a lifetime ago, and we are marching on towards spring, and hopefully some better weather. We didn't want to fill our week up with too many plans, as its nice to slow things down a little bit sometimes. We decided to… Continue reading Day 338 – Have you turned that bloody alarm clock off??

Day 337 - Feb 18th British winters are a curious creature. Last year we had a fairly mild couple of months and barely a flake of snow was seen. Soon into the new year the crocuses were back out and green stuff was starting to grow all over the place. This year has been far,… Continue reading Day 337 – The day the world fell apart… pretty much
